Tales of Pills, Heroin, and Recovery with Dan Peres and Alexis Haines

I mean we cannot stand by any longer if the fucking million people died from this shit in The Last Decade.
What happens when you gather a former magazine editor, a reality TV star, and a couple of hosts who aren't afraid to laugh at the dark side of addiction? You get an episode of Dopey that's as raw as it is riveting. This time, Dave and Chris welcome Dan Peres, the former editor-in-chief of Details magazine, and Alexis Haines, a long-time friend of the show.
Together, they dive into their tumultuous journeys through addiction, from popping pills to chasing heroin on skid row. Dan opens up about his memoir, 'As Needed For Pain', shedding light on his battle with substance abuse while juggling a high-profile career. Alexis shares her own harrowing tales of drug use, trauma, and the policies that shaped her experiences. The conversation isn't just about the lows; it's about the power of community and intervention in the path to recovery.
With humor and honesty, they remind us that sobriety is possible and that even in the darkest times, there's hope. Tune in for a mix of candid confessions and light-hearted moments that make this episode unforgettable.
